I gained control of the fan but there was nothing really I could do
with that except smooth out the fan start/stop, which really wasn't
enough.&nbsp; You need the fan to run as set at the factory to control the
temperature, so if the fan is too loud, look for replacement fans that
are quieter.&nbsp; I'm very puzzled as to why Apple chose to put noisy fans
in the powerbooks.<br>

  <div>I just installed YDL on my Power G5 1.8 GHz and the fan is out
of control. It produces so much noise that after couple of minutes I
have to shut down the computer.</div>

  <div>Is there any fix for this issue? I noticed on older posts in the
forums users have experienced similar issues in the past. From their
replies it doesn't look like there is an official fix for this issue
yet.</div>
